The original watercolor painting was 14"x23".It was digitally transformed into a 7'x12' vinyl banner for Congregation Shir Shalom in Sonoma, CA.

The banner was dedicated in a special shabbat service in Sonoma on November 14, 2009.I wrote and presented this poem for the occasion:

Yea, I walk through the Valley of the Moon,And it is wonderful!Adonai is alive in the vineyards.

I feel her presence within and around me While drawing and painting from my soul.Inside the Shir Shalom window shapeA carefully crafted artist’s story comes alive. Intuitively, shapes and colors emergeFrom my heart, mind and handsTo share with you.

Sweet, purple grapes are ripeningWhile dancing on their vines.Grapevines appear as outstretched arms of friends,Reaching for one another,Linking arms, davening and singing:Hiney Ma Tov u-ma nayimShevet achim gam yachadmeaning....How good and pleasant it is whenBrothers live together in harmony.

High above, the Shir Shalom Dove Sings her Song of Peace.Soaring in the blue sky towards the clouds,The full harvest moon, and the heavens,Her melodious song delights the earsOf the valley inhabitants below.We see man and woman’s presence In the bountiful valley,In barns and homes sheltered amongNative valley oaks and Italian cypress trees.

Grapevines become a menorah,The symbol of ancient Israel.Multi-colored leaves become flickering candle lights,Warming the glow of Hebrew letters spelling Shalom.

Bright, red pomegranates recall our Torah.It’s seeds, numbering 613, represent the number of mitzvotPrescribed by our Tree of Life.Olive branches are another important peace symbol, Reminding us of the Noah’s ark dove returning from dry land,Signaling an end to flood, and a return to peaceful times.

The golden, rolling hills of California,Expressed in pastel, rainbow colorsAre our backdrop for a wonderful life in paradise,Here in the Valley of the Moon on a beautiful autumn day.Rosh Chodesh Women`s Gathering In this piece, four women representing the four seasons (from left to right: winter, spring, summer, fall) dance around the Tree of Life. Their arms, resembling tree limbs, reach high into the night's changing sky. The primary figure assumes the yoga tree pose atop the Hebrew word chai meaning life. This Rosh Chodesh dance celebrates renewal and new beginnings while seven stars of David surround the new moon. A museum-quality, giclee print of an original watercolor painting. About giclée prints.
